1 What is the State-of-the-Art of European R&I on data science for aviation safety? Alex Rutten (NLR) EASA, Köln, 11 th of October 2018 OPTICS2 is a Coordinated Action funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Programme. Grant Agreement n

3 OPTICS & OPTICS , Safety , Safety & Security Improvements to the Methodology» Prioritisation of the enablers: not all the enablers are equally important» Strategic assessment of the "big picture, to ease comparison with International state-of-the-art

4 Main Goals Is Europe performing the right safety and security research?» Review of the state-of-the-art of safety and security aviation research» Assessing current progress against the goals set out by Flightpath 2050 and ACARE Strategic Research Agenda» Identify gaps and bottlenecks» Provide recommendations to the Commission» Interact with ACARE to update/refine the Research Agenda

5 Main Results Main Results - Examples Blocking points:» Some of the promising research does not seem to be picked up by industry» Some research seems to get stuck in the middle : medium contribution, medium maturity level» Data sharing: sharing and analyzing truly useful data without affecting the reputations and competiveness of individual organisations

11 Project assessment OPTICS2 does not judge quality of the projects, but only the coverage of the SRIA2 Selection of projects Assessment of projects Mapping of projects and preliminary assessment, Moderation, Project coordinator review Synthesis of results

12 Project assessment Main criteria to judge the state of an Action Area Coverage: degree to which research is addressing the Action Area Maturity: how close to commercial uptake are the results Ease of adoption: what are the legal, economical and technical barriers to implementation Other elements of the assessment include: Coverage of top safety and security risks Socio-economic impact

13 Year 1 project assessment 237 total safety projects 25 new projects and 212 projects already assessed against first version of the SRIA 19 projects contributed to Action Area 3

14 SRIA2: Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda

15 SRIA2: Action Area 3

16 Number of projects mapped on Action Area 3 Safety Intelligence : 19 Total number of projects assessed by OPTICS2: 200+ (SESAR: 44 / CleanSky: 10 / FP7: 62 / FutureSkySafety: 5 / Horizon2020: 9 / National Programmes: 113)

17 1 st year assessment Safety Intelligence, Tools and Processes 5 projects on data capture, in wide variety of areas. Many types of data not covered Research into data mining, limited to 5 projects. Many fields of aviation not covered On pro-active safety analysis, 9 projects cover a very fragmented field of topics No projects on efficient use of heterogeneous data sources

18 1 st year assessment Safety Intelligence management 5 projects target visualisation and distribution of information across the ATS No projects address the legal, technical and security challenges in data sharing

19 Areas for improvement Start work to resolve barriers: Technical, organisational, economical, regulatory Increase research efforts in: efficient use of heterogeneous data sources the technical, legal, security issues of data sharing Expand applications to all areas of aviation

20 Conclusions On the positive side: data acquisition, data mining, pro-active safety and sharing safety information are addressed by research However: Exploitation of other data sources and broadening the scope to all elements of the ATS is needed There are still barriers to operational use
